Oh Darling, what a special time for you,
today is your birthday, you're turning two.
"The terrible 2's" they say,
they're headed your way.
Temper-tantrums, playing, talking,
complete sentences, running, not walking.
All these things I long to see,
but unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
I long for the day I can hold you tight,
and have you snuggle by me through the night.
I long for many things that will never be,
since the angels took you away from me.
Baby girl, on this special day from above,
Please know we all send you our love.
Happy 2nd birthday Katie Bug!!!
We love you so very much.
This is Katie's resting place today.
We tried our best to make it look festive and happy for her.
Our one and only
A poem from Granny Annie
Our one and only granddaughter, who we never see.
Our one and only granddaughter, I wish was here with me.
Our one and only granddaughter, who walks the streets of gold.
Our one and only granddaughter, who will never grow old.
We have missed two years without her we could have enjoyed.
But we only had tears, pain and missing her more.
Happy birthday, little angel. We all love and miss you more than words can say.
This is not what I had in mind when taking a birthday picture of my children.
A letter from Mommy,
Dear Katie Bug,
God how time flies, it's suppose to be when you're having fun, but I guess it will either way. Lord knows I'm not having fun missing you. I just honestly can't believe it's been two years since you left us. But, at the same time, it seems like an eternity since I've seen my precious baby girl. I really do hope you enjoyed your birthday. We put flowers and balloons on your resting place. Shawn and I went over there this afternoon and put a few last minute touches on it, like your cards and then we sang happy birthday to you. Shawn asked if I thought you heard it? I assured him you did and that you were probably singing along with us. I hope you had a whole chorus of angels singing the sweetest song to you. I hope you had alot of wonderful presents and toys and I hope you got to play all day long. I hope you ran around playing with all your little friends and I hope they helped you blow the candles out on your cake. I hope you get the wish you wished for, and above all I hope you know how much we ALL miss and love you. Life just seems like it's missing something these days and truly it is, it's missing one of the sweetest little girls it could have ever had. I love you Katie Bug, please ALWAYS know that. Happy Birthday my darling. Love with all my heart and soul~~Mommy
